My boys are. They took them away and brought them back like 30 mins later. 1 was wide awake. The other came back sleeping. I believe they numb the area. The healing process took like a week. Wasn’t bad.

My son was circumcised at 2 days old. Took like 30min he didn’t even cry and he healed really fast. Having a boy this time and going to have him circumcised.
My husband was circumcised as a baby also, but his brother wasn’t and ended up getting circumcised at 12yrs old he said it was super painful

@jenn13, no problem, if you have any questions or anything like that please let me know. Wishing you a great labor and birth whenever the time comes

@futuremomma248, lol I totally understand the awkwardness .. I was going to ask my mother in law since hubby is cut but he said that would be weird and he rather not .. thankfully I have sisters that kept their boys intact so I have their say I just didn’t have anyone that has done it to shed some light .. but I will definitely keep researching.. thanks hun☺️

@jenn13, well that's good that you are doing research, that means you want to do what's best. I suggest you also check out your whole baby community group on Facebook over 28,000 moms who have intact sons they can also give their experiences on raising intact boys. I know I especially love talking to the moms with older boys. I mean it's kind of awkward talking to my mother-in-law about my husband's penis. So I definitely enjoy talking to other older moms

@futuremomma248, thank you hun .. we have been doing research since 16 weeks that we found out it was a boy .. i wanted to hear moms that have actual experience with doing it and not just what I was reading online .. i have seen plenty videos and it’s always 50/50 .. trust me we have read and read and watched plenty of videos ..

I have seen circumcision during Clinicals, and I can tell you a lot of the time the pain meds don't work. The baby scream and cry and it was terrible to watch. My husband is intact so it was even more triggering to think this could've been my husband. My son is also intact due to my medical training and my husband. You are the mother, I suggest you do a lot of research. Don't just talk to mothers on apps. But actually watch videos for yourself, talk to men from other countries fully research it. Because remember once you remove something you cannot put it back

Watch videos of it being done please.... it’ll make things clearer for you.

I was not in the room with him, it took about 5-7 minutes and he was back with me. He acted as if nothing had happened and was normal self. Healing process was smooth.. just made sure to keep Vaseline on it with every change and make sure it was clean.

@its.a.bird, @jerseymomx2, a lot of doctors today are super unaware of how to care for an intact penis . My friends son is intact and at one of his appointments he tried to retract him and she flipped . Most doctors will tell you to retract but this isn’t recommended. It can be painful and just isn’t necessary. The foreskin of the penis defuses itself when your child is around 7 years old and from there you retract to clean . And a bath wouldn’t give a uti . That’s like telling us we can’t take baths . Clean off the area we clean water and it’s fine . But early retraction can definitely cause issues with puberty

@jerseymomx2, yeah it’s so confusing because my son is uncircumcised as well and I even made him an appt with a ped urologist and they said u want to pull it back a little so it don’t get to tight , if it gets to tight it can “balloon up” and get infected , so many different opinions on to do it or not ..

@jerseymomx2, I’m glad he hasn’t had any problems & is doing well!

The American Academy of Pediatrics has been recommending not to retract foreskin since 1984. I wish more doctors would educate themselves on how to care for uncircumcised boys since a growing number of boys are not being circumcised.

I wasn't in the room They give them sugar water drops before and after babies had no problem and healed well with my youngest they showed me how to Vaseline the diaper down instead of applying it to his lil p and I like that better than the gauze they used for my oldest two cause it dries out to quick and I'm getting this baby circumcised as well my boys didn't cry of pain or nothing was so smooth

@jerseymomx2, I think she meant weren’t, not were

@its.a.bird, I’m a little confused lol I had to retract the foreskin myself
